Internet Cube: Let's Build together a Free, Neutral and Decentralized Internet

Presented at 32C3 (2015), Dec. 29, 2015, 10 p.m. (30 minutes).

Two years after the invitation to build your own iSP at 30C3, I'd like to invite everyone to take part in building a better Internet with the Internet Cube project. At the crossroads of DIY Internet Access, Open Source Hardware and Self-Hosting Free Software, "Internet Cube" is the living proof everyone can regain control on their data. Using a public and static VPN endpoint provided by a neutral and privacy-friendly ISP, the Cube enables the user to have her services accessible from everywhere simply by plugging it to the Internet. Assorted with a wireless antenna, the Cube operates as an ambulant cleaning gateway to the Internet, getting rid of whatever stupid thing a commercial ISP would be doing on the network like port blocking or service prioritization. There are many other use cases enabled by already existing Y U NO HOST applications like turning the Cube into a PirateBox or a Tor gateway. When the first prototype came to life, someone said "Well, congratulations guys, you've just built an actual working FreedomBox" and I believe that what we built is more than that.
